RIVER PLASTIC BECOMES  OCEAN PLASTIC

80% of ocean plastic comes from rivers

Before plastic spreads uncontrollably in the oceans and breaks down into microplastic, it can often be stopped in rivers. Plastic pollution has a direct effect on the destruction of marine ecosystems and ocean biodiversity. If nothing changes, it is expected that there will be more plastic than fish in the oceans by 2050.
